Hey Patrick,

my pile is 1493-20379, a 1959 interim car that has been 1750-ized. Been in Northern California since new. Someday I'll put the original 1300 and transmission back in it.

Matt, I've entered your info.

Browsing the ever-longer list of Sprints in the first post, I realized that they're all Normales. No Veloces, anyone?

Hi Pat

You can add the first Sprint Veloce to your list to your list, I've just bought 1493E*06193, a '58 Confortovale. It needs a complete restoration.

These were an in-between run of approximately 200 cars (according to Tabucci), built directly after the lightweight 750E's and just before the facelift of the 101 type nose. It is basically a heavyweight 750 Veloce, with all steel panels & framed wind-up windows.

The Confortovale's ranged from around Chassis 06000 to 06611, (known car) with 2 different specifications being produced, the first up to about 06300 and the second up to 06611. see this thread - ¬¬¬¬The Confortevole Debate!

A friend of mine has just bought the sister car, 06127E, which is in very nice condition, so at least I have an identical, (If 2 Alfa’s could ever be called identical), car to use as a yardstick.

Ciao
Greig

Congratulations, Greig! Logging your data in.

How about a photo both here and in the 750/101 Photo threads?

It looks better than it actually is, floors are toasted & I'm now on the lookout for bits, need a 750 front grille, the aluminium framed bit around the windows - although Stuart will mail me some pictures of how he restored one & made these frames.

Anyone have 40DCO3 carbs lying around that you want to donate to a worthy cause ??

Suprise, suprise, it's resale red - my favourite colour.....

This one will become baby blue.

Ciao

How did you come across a pair of Confortevoles?! The luck that some people have.

Pat: Please add my silver '58 Sprint Veloce Confortevole to your list: Chassis No. 1493 06552 Engine No. 1315 30984 Bertone No. 655941. Dave Strus, kokomo, Indiana, USA.

**pathung** · #60 (**permalink**) 08-19-2007, 08:01 AM

Thanks, Dave, I'll add your car to the list - our second Veloce, and Confortevole, no less!

Care to post a picture?
